Justice Hartman · Answer 1

Answer: ''Full of things to eat''

Explanation: A metaphor is a literary expression or figure of speech that makes an object or an action implicit or gives it an implied meaning. It is also a word, expression or phrase that has a hidden or indirect comparison between two unrelated things but at the same time share some characteristics. By indirect comparison it means that a word or phrase refers to something else.

The phrase ''our land full of things to eat'' does not literary mean that the land is only full of things to eat but is a metaphorical expression which means that there is abundance of food or things to eat with different varieties of things to eat.

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Which one makes this sentence a metaphor?

Our land is full of things to eat.

a: like a giant garden

b: generous in giving us food to eat

c: rich with crops

d: a blanket of green, a bounty full of life.

Answer:

b: generous in giving us food to eat

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech consisting of asserting directly (it doesn't use the words "like" or "as") that one thing is similar to another. Such comparison should not be taken literally and is often used to give the audience new insights about something or to make the writing more interesting and colorful. The new sentence "Our land is generous in giving us food to eat" is a metaphor because it implicitly compares the land to a human being when it gives it the quality of being generous and of giving us food while keeping the essence of the original sentence.
